I just had to…

I never save $45 in one grocery shopping trip…ever.  So that’s what this entire post is about.  The day I save $45 at the grocery store:)

The only time the Brogle’s buy pop or soda is when there is a sale.  Not a 3 for $11 sale like they always have but instead when Rainbow or Cub have a sale like Rainbow does this week.  Buy 5 Pepsi products with a $25 purchase and each 12 pack is $1.48.  Yup.  That’s a good deal.  Especially when Alex’s 2 favorite kinds of pop/soda are Pepsi products, Mtn. Dew and Dr. Pepper!

Here’s what I bought today:

-4 boxes of cereal, 5 12-packs of pop/soda, 1/2 gallon of Organic milk, bunch of spinach, 2 onions, an apple, cider and white vinegar, 2 boxes of Cheeze-its, 1 box of crackers, 1 box of granola bars, 3 cans of juice, 1 gallon of ice cream, sour cream, chocolate sauce, cream cheese, and almonds. 

Total:  $35  which means had I not saved $45 we would have spent $80.  Yup, without a sale like that I wouldn’t have bought most of it which is why Alex is in the other room doing the happy dance. All the “boxed” things he loves we now have in mass quantities!

Happy saving:)
